Quantum illumination versus coherent-state target detection
arXiv:0902.0986 · doi:10.1088/1367-2630/11/6/063045
Abstract
Lloyd [1] proved that a large performance gain accrues from use of entanglement in single-photon target detection within a lossy, noisy environment when compared to what can be achieved with unentangled single-photon states. We show that the performance of Lloyd's "quantum illumination" system is, at best, equal to that of a coherent-state transmitter, and may be substantially worse. Nevertheless, as shown in [2], quantum illumination may offer a significant performance gain when operation is not limited to the single-photon regime.
